Before You Start Self-Parenting Sessions

Hello, my name is Dr. John Pollard and I am the author of this website. Ideally, you have read the “yellow book.” If not, this is a very important first step to understanding this process, so do this before anything else. Next, even though the yellow book is fun and easy-to-read, the true Self-Parenting experience begins once you begin practicing the daily half-hour sessions. Over a period of time this amazing experience will certainly improve how you feel about yourself and it will improve your life in many ways.

You will experience profound changes from your first Self-Parenting session forward. To continue this momentum in a wonderful and easy manner, I have designed a series of 10 Steps to Intermediate Practitioner Status which you can achieve over a 3-6 month period. It’s not that hard to do, many people have achieved this goal. The “how to” is laid out within this website; it just takes this much time to accomplish. Please make sure to become a Guest Member as this is how I communicate upcoming news and events.

Whatever “issues” you are dealing with now, in three months they are going to be a distant memory. You just can’t know how great you will feel, until you get there. Here is the typical path for most practitioners:

Reading the “yellow” book.

Starting half-hour sessions using the 23 Tips.

Successful completion of the first month.

Successful completion of the 2-3 month (SE Module).

Successful completion of the 3-4 month (EF Module).

Resolving several “Inner Conflicts” over the first 4-6 months.

Eventual completion of all Ten Steps to Intermediate.

Self-Parenting works quickly and effectively for the amount of time you practice, however it doesn’t qualify as a “quick fix.” It’s just the more you do it, the better it gets.

Does this mean that practicing the Self-Parenting Program is easy? Not necessarily. One problem when starting any new discipline is who has the time? Everyone is so busy from dawn to midnight. Who wants to take 30 mins away from sleep time basically. Starting a new habit that requires 30 minutes of your already busy life is a big ask.

Secondly, it’s just you and no one else. Right now you don’t truly know what you don’t know about your Self-Parenting Style. You’ll need commitment and personal integrity to experience the deeper levels of inner awareness. Self-Parenting looks inside for answers instead of outside to the outer world for external validation. This is not the way most people live their lives.

Self-Parenting is YOU taking care of YOUR Inner Child. Self-Parenting is how well YOU, as the Inner Parent, can learn to positively parent YOUR Inner Child. It takes Inner Parent skill and discipline to follow these guidelines.

Please study this website with care and consideration. Don’t take these Self-Parenting guidelines casually. Following the web site recommendations and doing the practice as stated will lead you directly to Intermediate Practitioner status. The path is well-marked and well-formed.
